As a Berliner, I took the short Spree river cruise with my out-of-town guest. It was part of my brief sightseeing tour. The boat ride was short, informative, and presented in a humorous way. It also refreshed my memory on a few points. It was a lot of fun. The weather was fantastic. Everything was great. If we have more time next time, we’ll do the full tour. Berlin from the water has its own charm and plenty of greenery. Every visitor to Berlin should do this. An hour in nice weather is always doable, but please bring sunscreen! That was our mistake. When the sun shines over the water in Berlin, it really shines!

Die Fahrt war sehr angenehm, ruhig, und instrktiv. Besonders hat mir der Reiseführer gefallen. Was er erzählte war interessant und mit klugen Humor. Sein Englisch war auch sehr gut.

I really enjoyed the wonderful time I spent with my friend exploring the city from the water; we sipped on some Aperol and admired the beautiful architecture—thanks, thanks :))
